x86/HVM: don't give the wrong impression of WRMSR succeeding

... for non-existent MSRs: wrmsr_hypervisor_regs()'s comment clearly
says that the function returns 0 for unrecognized MSRs, so
{svm,vmx}_msr_write_intercept() should not convert this into success. We
don't want to unconditionally fail the access though, as we can't be
certain the list of handled MSRs is complete enough for the guest types
we care about, so instead mirror what we do on the read paths and probe
the MSR to decide whether to raise #GP.

x86: ignore guest microcode loading attempts

The respective MSRs are write-only, and hence attempts by guests to
write to these are - as of 1f1d183d49 ("x86/HVM: don't give the wrong
impression of WRMSR succeeding") no longer ignored. Restore original
behavior for the two affected MSRs.
